Abstract: 5179. Simon, J. March 1. Separating by gravity. - Apparatus for separating lighter from heavier particles, such as fine coal from dirt and sand, comprises a vessel in which an upward flow of liquid carries off the lighter particles while the heavier particles pass out by an intermittently-operated valve. The material is fed to a tapering vessel c through a hopper b and water which is admitted through a pipe d issues downwards from the bottom of a pipe m and is deflected upwards carrying the lighter particles to a vessel h where a further separation is effected, the small coal passing to the bottom and being removed at r, while the dust and lighter particles overflow into a gutter u. The heavier particles of sand or dirt escape from the vessel c through a pipe o when a valve e, which is intermittently operated by means of cams, is lifted. The vessel h contains a helical scraper i for clearing the side walls.

Title: Automatic Car Couplings for Railway Trains.
Inventor: YAMAMOTO MOTOSABURO
IPC: B61G1/08
Filed: 1911-03-06
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 5567. Yamamoto, M. March 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Couplings, automatic. - Attachments are applied to ordinary draw-hooks to enable them to be coupled automatically. On one vehicle a guide 1 with a sloping face is mounted by a spindle 2 on the draw-hook 5<a> and supported by a bracket 3 and a pin 4. The opposite coupling- member comprises a link 6 integral with a rod which passes through a screw member 7 and is resiliently mounted on the draw-hook 5<b> by spindles 11 and springs 10 to provide against shock. The uncoupling-mechanism comprises a rod 14 with an upward bend, counterweighted on the side handles 15, which are attached to a transverse shaft. When there is no locomotive attached, uncoupling is performed by first operating the screw member 7 by the lever 17, Fig. 8, so as to slacken the coupling, and then raising the link. When a locomotive is attached, the bar 14 is left resting against the coupling, and the buffers are compressed by the locomotive sufficiently to release the coupling without the use of the screw gear. The end 14 of the uncoupling- mechanism is formed so as to prevent automatic coupling from taking place by shielding the recess over the draw-hook as shown in Fig. 5. The whole of the gear is detachable to provide for coupling with vehicles fitted with ordinary screw couplings.

Abstract: 7656. Hamilton, J. R. March 27. Seals.-Relates to seals of the kind consisting of a flexible strap provided at ono end with a tongue which is passed through a slot at the opposite end of the strap and is then bent down to secure the device. According to the invention, the tongue 2 is curved or is angular in cross-section, the slots 3 being correspondingly shaped, so that, when the tongue is bent, it will kink and the device cannot be removed without mutilation. The edges of the tongue may be provided with slits 7, or serrations, and the centre of the tongue may be provided with a series of indentations 6 to engage the point 5 of the lip formed by the slot 3. When used as a leg band for poultry, the tongue is preferably formed as a continuation of the strap instead of being bent up at right-angles. In a modification, particularly adapted for use as a seal for envelopes or papers, a tongue and slot are provided at each end of the strap.

Title: A Shock Absorber for Preventing Breakage Due to Excessive Pulling Forces or Shocks Applied to Chains, Ropes, Rods, Hooks, Cranes, or Tension Members.
Inventor: HILEY ALFRED
IPC: B66B7/06
Filed: 1911-03-30
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 7925. Hiley, A. March 30. Dash-pots. - Consists in preventing breakage of tension or compression members of structures and machinery, due to overloading, by means of a liquid - controlled brake or dashpot used in conjunction with destructible rods or equivalent means, which yield under a predetermined stress and allow the dash-pot to come into operation. Such shock - absorbing apparatus is stated to be applicable to chains, ropes, and rods of lifting and hauling apparatus or of structures such h a s suspension bridges; to appliances used in lifting and hauling such as pulleyblocks, cranes, minecages, lifts, and hooks and to compression members or apparatus such as buffers. Fig. 1 shows one construction of apparatus illustrating the application of the invention to a chain or rope. The chain is connected to eyes or hooks A', E<1> formed on the dash-pot cylinder A and on a cap at the upper end of the piston-rod C respectively. The cap is connected to the cylinder by one or more screwed rods D, which break under a predetermined stress and allow the piston to displace the liquid in the upper portion of the cylinder. During this movement, the liquid is forced through one or more orifices in the piston controlled by tapered keys I, which gradually diminish and finally close these orifices. A spring or pad a<11> cushions the piston at the end of the yielding movement, also a second spring may be provided to react on the piston so that the apparatus may absorb smaller shocks occurring between the breakage of the rods and their renewal. Bolts acting in shear or other equivalent devices may be substituted for the rods D, while the tapered keys I may be replaced by other mechanism producing a steady resistance to the movement of the piston such as the types of mechanism used in gun-recoil cylinders. The invention is also shown applied to a pulleyblock, and to a mine cage.

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 9632. Hiby, W. April 20. Naphthalene, removing; ammoniacal liquor, treating.-Naphthalene is removed from gases produced by the distillation of coal, by suddenly chilling the gases at a point in the purifying- system where their temperature is near the dewpoint of naphthalene. This is effected by forcibly injecting a liquid such as water into the gases, as a spray, so as to remove mechanically and continuously the naphthalene separated by the chilling. The spray of liquid has a speed different from that of the gases, and fills for a considerable distance the whole cross-section of the passage through which the gases pass, the liquid being circulated through a cooling-device before being returned to the spray. Waste liquor may be employed and cooling effected by evaporation in an air cooling-tower, thus getting rid of the liquor. Specification 4001/06 is referred to.
